Maybe cheaper to rent the prime mover when they need it, than to obtain one and have it sitting around.... Obviously the tie up with Penske might make see that they get a cheap rate...

I imagined it was a one way loan/rental, from Melbourne to Stapylton, or the truck builder, to do the rework of the ex-LDM/ex-23Red transporter to DJRTP specs...

Read about the 1,000km journey in the above DJR Mack truck, as it heads from Brisbane to Sydney with Mr Paul Cockburn on board in 1994:

Holy smokes!!! That's fair innings in trucking terms and considering i think that T8 have had one merchandise trailer and at least 2 car trailers in that time or less...

Who has stationed themselves on the Nullarbor, photographing all the transporters for us?

I suspect it is the teams drivers themselves posting to social media, they all have egos about their trucks and it is a tourist drive after all.

People seem fascinated by these trucks but then I drove them for a living so I don't get it. If anyone who has a fascination for trucks and drives one for a few months they will soon lose their fascination. I suspect one or two people here think it is glamorous but that is the last thing it is.

Driving the team truck is only part of the job description for these blokes. Many conveniently, or ignorantly perhaps, forget that.
